My New Wheels

Song of the moment: The Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)

On Saturday I said farewell to my blue Corolla, and said hello to my brand new Phantom Grey Corolla. I must admit, I was a bit sad leaving my blue baby behind, but I knew it was for the best. It sucks.. I get so attached to things. It took forever just to get my new car out of the lot though. The car salesman told us to come in Saturday morning, and he even called us at 10:30 to see if we were coming yet, but when we got there, he told us the paperwork was complete yet and we had to wait. This made me and my family quite mad, because he made it such an urgent deal that we come in early, but when we got there, it wasn't even ready yet. Stupid f**ks :S So finally, after a 1 1/2 hour wait, I finally got to drive my new car off the lot. As I left, I spotted my old car, said a silent and sad goodbye, and I left it behind.

Since it was past lunchtime, and my family was way starving, we decided to get some chinese take-out. To my disbelief, my mom made me drive my brand new car to Metro Square, a plaza full of asian restaurants, "hello kitty" stores, bubble-tea & bakery shops, and horrible chinese drivers. This is definitely not a place you want to take your "just off the lot" car. First and foremost, right when I got there I almost got T-boned by a stupid middle-aged chinese women driver driving a Benz (she was making a left into my lane, she obviously didn't know I had the right of way. Why do these stupid people that can't drive own such expensive cars?!?). Cars were cutting me off left right and center. I drove me insane! Luckily I survived this driver's nightmare.

So the next two weeks I'm actually back in the T-dot (well nxt week I'm in Oshawa for a conference, but eh.. close enough!). I figured I needed a change of environment because I was getting so restless in Hamilton. I'm just spending my time writing my thesis, but needless to say, it's really hard writing back @ home. Like yesterday for instance. Kathy and I hit Vaughn Mills to do some shopping. We got so tired walked around that mall (it's HUGE!) but I came out of it w/ a couple of purchases :D Hooray I can shop again!

But... I can't do too much shopping. I need to save up my money because for the Victoria Day long weekend I'm heading to New York! Hooray! Jimmy and I bought our plane tickets last wednesday! His cousins live there and offered us a place to crash and they're gonna show us around! I was talking to his cousin June and she kept telling me about all the places she was gonna take us to sightsee and to shop.. I'm giddy with excitement! This month is gonna be AWESOME! :D

Tomorrow is me and Jimmy's yearly anniversary. Actually, 7 years ago today he asked me out on that wonderful night after the fireworks @ Disneyworld in Florida (haha he asked me out.. I said maybe.. then I said yes the next day! haha I'm such a meanie!). Wow... 7 years. If that doesn't make you feel old I donno what does!
